Spyker Cars Relocate Assembly to UK

Some welcome news in these times of economic gloom, and hopefully a sign that we are nearing its end, is the fact that Spyker - Dutch manufacturer of some truly spiffing sports cars, with perhaps the most extraordinarily-designed and detailed cockpits of any production car - is to relocate its production line from Holland to Coventry. Although nowhere near the league of the existing UK-based manufacturers, this will at least mean a few extra jobs should be created and business will hopefully continue to improve for the British suppliers who are linked to Spyker. A jolly well done and the best of luck!

About Me

A fan of all things vintage (say, roughly, the period 1875-1950 - but
particularly the '20s and '30s), including steam/dieselpunk,
retro-futurism, motor cars, aeroplanes, steam locomotives, fashion,
jazz, film and culture. Just looking to brighten people's days with the
odd jolly story. Pip-pip!
